Idea: use hue oauth api instead of direct to hub #15

This will relieve some pressure on the pi, and allow people to adopt the service easier if they don't have on.

Also will make the authentication dance clearer.

Sounds sensible, I'm planning on getting a few hue lux lights tonight.

tomwilkie commented 9 years ago

Yeah I just got a couple. You've got a pi running the proxy so it'll all just work - this is more aimed at people without a pi.

Need a little more work on the lux bulbs, as you can't set color temp on them. They work okay though.

So the oauth api is currently not publicly available - http://www.developers.meethue.com/content/remote-api

I've sent a request for access.
